Justin Ayers, a 33-year-old Florida music teacher, had just brought his and his wife's 3-day-old baby home from the hospital to meet relatives when he was shot in the head by a bullet that went through his wall, reports the Utica Phoenix. He died instantly.

The shot was fired when his neighbor Charles Shisler, 62, had picked up his loaded 9 mm pistol by the trigger. Immediately after the gun went off, Shisler hid the gun under his mattress. He was belligerent to the cops when they arrived, and they found he had a blood alcohol content of .079. He told the cops, "The damn gun doesn't usually shoot. You have to squeeze the hell out of the trigger to shoot it."

Shisler had a previous felony weapons conviction from 2006. I'm going to say that again. He had a previous felony weapons conviction from 2006. So, WHY THE FUCK DID HE STILL OWN A GUN? Stories like this are the best argument for gun control.
